For unknown reasons, this is the first rider I noticed: those ones who become this type only when they fall asleep. This rider, I called ”the snorer”. The snorer is the type of passenger or rider that made me realize I am riding in Nederland Spoor trains with a lot of varied fellow riders. After this realization, I became very conscious of the happenings around me every time I am taking my daily long rides.
In normal situations, it is very difficult to notice the snorer. Why? The train has a noisy engine sound, there are a lot of fellow riders speaking on their mobile phones, there are chatters who do not care about the volume of their voices, or there are other riders watching films using their notebooks or laptops without putting a head phone. They just love sharing the soundof what they are watching without sharing the visions you know. And believe me, sometimes I even hear the music from the nearby riders’ mp3 player despite their use of earphones. Don’t they get deaf easily? Or are they deaf already?
Snorers actually come accidentally. Surely none of us all NS riders would like to be classified as a snorer, they just escape out of the larynx (I believe), that snoring sound and the thing is, when you are a snorer, you, as the snorer, are not aware of it… you are in deep sleep, that is why! In fact how I discovered the snorer was accidental. As I said, it is very difficult to find one for various reasons. So how did I find one? I would tell you later.
Snorers are not that bad. I am not aware if I was once a snorer too. No one can blame the snorers y’know. Travelling everyday for long distance, long sitting hours with a body tired from work and pressure and when you are sitting in the train without doing anything, you’d be falling asleep without difficulty. And when you are asleep, you cannot stop yourself doing some stuff against your will, i.e., snoring. At some point you have just to snore. And snoring it is… and you do ot know that you are doing it.
My first rider, the snorer, was sleeping when I discovered his existence. There were many passengers talking to each other and/or talking through their respective telephones. For a second or two, it happened that all of a sudden they all took a single breath and stopped uttering words. That was when we all heard the loud… ghhhhhhrrrrrkkkk …. Hggghhhrrrrrkkkrrkkk… and here goes my first rider, the snorer.I want to know the rider more...
